It's a Mailbag Monday from Delray Beach! Jared digs into three listener dilemmas. First, a 30-year-old ended it with a guy showing jealous tells, moody about male friends and asking for her body count. Jared backs the breakup and reframes past partners as mature context, not a scorecard, urging thoughtful, respectful conversation about history rather than hot-take labels. Next, a maid of honor’s cash-stuffed wedding card vanished; he says stop treating brides like royalty. Finally, a 28-year-old moving to the Twin Cities wants friends and maybe romance.  Along the way, he shares DC theater gratitude, backstage YouTube plans, and a reminder that everyone judges what matters is how you tell your story and whether you’re confident in it.

Justin Trudeau’s admiration for Katy Perry sparks a conversation about how celebrities handle public compliments and authenticity in their relationships.

From political figures to pop stars, this episode unpacks how fame magnifies every word and gesture in love. It’s a funny, thoughtful take on public perception, sincerity, and the art of saying something nice without losing your edge.

Chit Chat Wednesday brings on Daniel Koh, a friend and policy pro running for Congress in MA-6, to cut through DC fog with plain talk about how the House works, why algorithms reward outrage, and how good government looks from the White House down to a town liquor license. He argues results beat rhetoric, explaining how barriers kick people off Medicaid, why neighbors and clergy helped Boston cut homicides, and how DC’s status games and two-minute TV hits make politicians worse at actual service. Jared pushes on slogans, civility, and the comedy-politics attention trap, while Daniel defends debating with facts instead of haymakers and says local responsiveness should follow you to Congress. They field a dating question about “moderates,” urging specifics over labels and partnership values that show up in real life. Then it’s King of the World: make trains reliably on time and fix those bathroom doors, explore heated roads and smarter lights, structure debates around substance, and upgrade broadband while keeping kids’ smartphones out of school. They wrap with fundraising reality, a promise to communicate like humans, and an open invite for Massachusetts listeners to get involved.

Ticked Off Tuesday finds Jared raspy-voiced in Richmond after a blur of flights, posting up in a mall and relishing his wander-and-cookie ritual, then venting about middle seat life as a Delta Diamond and wishing for a literal sheriff badge to flash at clueless travelers. He rails against a candy shop that smelled like someone reheated lasagna instead of magic and whimsy, and a hotel check-in where two desk clerks gave him robot silence after his attempt at small talk when he’d finally removed his headphones to be human. Listener complaints include a coworker policing water bottles and microplastics like a morality cop, the nightmare of getting to LaGuardia on public transit, and a neighbor who tattles to the HOA instead of speaking directly about dogs running on a golf course. The kicker is a Chipotle decorated with fake construction tape that looked fully closed, sending a listener on an emotional roller coaster after a brutal day working with cancer patients.

A listener with a crush in her tight-knit Spanish class worries about ruining the group vibe, and Jared tells her to skip the overthinking and text with confidence. Another listener hears from the guy who once wouldn’t commit, now cheating on his girlfriend with her, and Jared explains that it’s about comfort, not connection. Finally, a couple debating a $5K destination wedding in Mexico with a toddler gets Jared’s advice to either decline gracefully or treat it like a sitcom-style vacation and just enjoy it.
